ISPConfig trouble, mod_php not working

I suppose these two issues are connected; I noticed that after following the server guide for ISPConfig on Ubuntu 9.04 PHP works fine as long as I'm not using mod_php for the sites. In case I do pick mod_php, the following is generated:

In addition to this, phpMyAdmin is nonfunctional, when clicking the link a funky 'download file' dialog is opened with an empty input, so apparently Apache is not delivering that one either. The problem here is though that I'm unable to find records of this anywhere; the requests do show up in the access.log, but no errors are written in any of the errorlogs. My guess is that this is related to the mod_php not working.

And the ISPC log complained about the php_admin values in the vhosts, which I commented in the template now to be able to start Apache, the search noted that this could be because PHP is not installed, but that's not the case at all sadly.

Possibly related is the memory usage, it's up to 920MB while nothing is running on the box. Ps aux shows 6+ processes by courier, a whole lot "error -n retry -t unix -u -c" and "bounce -z -n defer -t unix -u -c" running under the postfix user and like 30 times /usr/lib/cgi-bin/php with -d magic_quotes_gpc=off. It seems like clamav and spamd are using the most memory though.

To the mail log: amavisd is not running and without amavisd you will not be able to reaceive or send emails. Please run:

/etc/init.d/amavis start

and check the mail log again.

The entry in the system log are fine.

Then you really dont have mod_php installed and this explains the problems with php in your sites too. Please make sure that you followed the perfect server instllation guide for ispconfig 3 and ubuntu to the line or your system will not work properly.

Odd, only the 'libapache2-mod-php5' package was missing, all other packages did get installed, I suppose some error came up during install. Anyway, it's working now so thanks a lot.
